Chapter 175 Sleeping for More Than a Decade
After Shu Ning and her two companions followed Xiao Yu and his son into a secret chamber inside a cave, they continued down the stairs.
Mo Li noticed that the bottom of the cave was dark and unfathomable, and there were no railings on the surrounding steps. He picked up Shu Ning and asked warily, "Where are you taking us?"
Before he finished speaking, his voice echoed through the cave.
As Cang Ling walked, she said, "You'll find out when we get down."
Mo Li hesitated for a moment but still followed.
"007, is Xiao Chong's mother here?" Shu Ning asked in her mind, looking down into the quiet cave.
"Yes," 007 replied.
"You said before that she accidentally ate black water lily seeds and has been in a coma for more than ten years. Is there any way to wake her up?"
"Put her body in extreme environments such as ice or fire to force her body's instincts to awaken," 007 said.
"In an environment of ice or fire..." Shu Ning pondered 007's words, looking at Mo Li's superior jawline.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "I've got it!"
"Hmm?" Mo Li looked down at Shu Ning after hearing her words. "Hold on tighter."
"Okay." Shu Ning did as he said, tightening her grip on his arm.
“Host, it’s not enough for your body’s instincts to awaken; your consciousness also needs to return, otherwise it will only backfire,” 007 added.
Shu Ning was startled. "Then what else needs to be done?"
"I have already put an acupuncture kit into your space. You will administer the acupuncture to her later according to my instructions."
"Okay." As soon as Shu Ning finished speaking, the group went downstairs.
Then we entered a secret room, where we could vaguely see a faint light coming through the crack in the door.
After Cang Ling opened the door, a clean and tidy stone cave came into view, with an arched window carved into the opposite rock wall.
The windows were secured with wooden sticks and covered with animal hides inside, making them less glaring.
The lighting inside the cave was gentle and dim, but the decor was very cozy.
From the outside, this should be the middle of the mountain, where you can see a blocked cave entrance.
If you open it up, the view outside must be beautiful.
Lying on the stone bed in the middle of the cave was a beautiful young girl with fair skin.
As the group approached the bedside, Shu Ning realized that Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu looked remarkably like her, only their features appeared softer.
"Xiao Chong, this is your mother," Cang Ling said, looking tenderly at Xiao Xian, who was sleeping peacefully.
Xiao Chong walked to her bedside and carefully examined the female in front of him who had the same face as his father.
From the moment he stepped inside, he sensed the presence of a female who shared the same blood as him.
After confirming that she was his biological mother, he felt a mix of emotions, and a complex feeling welled up inside him.
His mother, whom he had missed countless days and nights, was now right in front of him, but he could not call out to her like the other wolf cubs.
Because there will be no response even if you shout.
Shu Ning noticed the sadness in his eyes and stepped forward to take his hand.
The instant her fingers slipped between his fingers, he gripped them tightly.
The room was quiet at this moment, and Cang Ling and Xiao Yu's feelings were also very complicated.
After a moment, seeing that Xiao Chong had calmed down a bit, Shu Ning said, "Eagle Clan Leader, I have a way to wake her up."
Upon hearing Shu Ning's words, the group looked at her in surprise.
"Little female, are you kidding me?" Cang Ling asked doubtfully.
Shu Ning then told them about the methods used before the recovery.
Cang Ling shook his head after hearing this, "Actually, I have tried the method you mentioned, but it was basically ineffective."
“That’s because this is only a part of it,” Shu Ning said.
Hearing Shu Ning's words, the three looked at her with renewed hope.
Then Shu Ning took out the acupuncture kit that she had taken out of her space in advance.
"What is this?" Cang Ling asked, puzzled by the sight of something he had never seen before.
Shu Ning gave them a brief explanation of the uses of acupuncture.
"No way," Cang Ling said, waving her hand. "That's too dangerous!"
He gazed at Xiao Xian lying on the bed. "It's fine for her to be sleeping like this. I don't need her to take such a big risk."
Shu Ning didn't expect Cang Ling to refuse so quickly, and said, "But if she doesn't eat or drink like this, her life will eventually run out."
Upon hearing Shu Ning's words, Cang Ling hesitated.
At this moment, Xiao Yu, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Father, let her try. Haven't you always wanted to see Mother wake up?"
He looked at Shu Ning, "And she's right, Mother's breathing is getting weaker and weaker. If she doesn't wake up soon, I'm afraid..."
Hearing this, Cang Ling frowned and hesitated, "Let me think about it..."
After a moment, he spoke again, "Alright, let's give it a try."
"Alright, the treatment process cannot be interrupted. Since you've already made up your mind, let's begin."
Then she looked up at Mo Li beside her and said, "Mo Li, you'll have to work hard this time."
"Don't be so polite," Mo Li smiled and patted Shu Ning's head.
Then, Mo Li turned and walked to the bedside, took Xiao Xian's hand, and began to lower her own body temperature.
As his body temperature decreased, the temperature inside the cave also began to decrease.
After a while, Xiao Xian's eyes began to move, her brows furrowed, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Seeing this, the group of people's eyes lit up with hope, but none of them dared to utter a sound, for fear of making a mistake.
Then Shu Ning heard 007's voice, "Host, you can begin administering the acupuncture."
"Okay, where should we start?" Shu Ning asked, unfolding her acupuncture bag.
"Let's start with Baihui acupoint..."
Then, following 007's instructions, Shu Ning began to administer acupuncture to her step by step.
When Cang Ling saw Shu Ning use that thing to stab Xiao Xian, his heart felt a pang.
Every time she pricked a spot, he would frown.
"Mo Li, you can stop now," Shu Ning said after hearing 007's instruction.
“Mm,” Mo Li replied.
Seeing Xiao Xian with multiple puncture wounds on her body, the people around her unconsciously held their breath.
"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Cang Ling asked anxiously, looking at her still tightly closed eyes.
"Wait a minute," Shu Ning said.
Actually, she wasn't sure either. If it weren't for 007's help, she wouldn't know these things.
During the acupuncture treatment, she dared not make the slightest deviation.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Just as Cang Ling was about to say something, a dry cough was suddenly heard.
Upon hearing this voice, the group focused even more intently, waiting for her to wake up.
The one who reacted the most was Cang Ling. He disregarded everything else, knelt down by the bed, took her hand, and tears welled up in his eyes.
At this moment, Shu Ning took out a bowl of water and handed it to Xiao Chong.
"Let me do it." Cang Ling said with surprise when he saw the bowl that had appeared out of nowhere. After taking a sip and finding no problem, he helped Xiao Xian up and gently fed her water.
Xiao Yu, who had been standing opposite Shu Ning, was paying close attention to her every move. He didn't believe she could wake his mother, but he pretended to trust her because he needed her help to get to the wolf clan.
To his surprise, she actually did it. The moment Xiao Xian woke up, he looked at her in astonishment.
